Next is Bugzilla II... Some of you may remember the original Propzilla I had at plugfest last year.... I never was happy with the tail action, so I widend the middle, redistributed the weight and shortend the tail... the results are exactly what I was looking for, in lue of the prop I went with a pair of #4 spinner blade "legs" this thing kicks up quite a fuss, I plan of trolling it for SBFT, but wont be oppsed to trolling the surf break at dawn with it either, she weighs just over 5 ounces and is 12" long...

Below is a Tagger inspired skin plug, I remembered Taggers experiment while digging around a bucket and finding an old eel "whistle" I had long forgottten about... the hook hanger/line pull is secured in the belly via a 1"#4 SS screw, the plug is drilled clean through on center with a 3/16 drill bit and the face chamfered to help inflate the skin....
